CSL is a company which has emerged from one of the ‘big 4’ accountancy practices, with over 30 years combined experience from within the corporate finance and regional development businesses of one of the world’s largest professional services firms. Cundy Solutions Limited is a member of the Practice Assurance Scheme of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. We are passionate about providing client service of the highest quality and about contributing to our clients’ success.
We do not rely on any particular region or industry sector for work referrals which means that we can be objective and are able to offer non-conflicted advice focused solely on achieving what is best for your business. We have no other agendas. If we don’t think there is a grant opportunity worth pursuing, or even if we think your business is chasing grants at the expense of making a good commercial decision, we will tell you.
We do not need to service expensive offices or employ unnecessary administrators. Our organisational structure means we can offer you the best available advice and solutions for your business in a cost effective manner. We can also structure the costs to be largely success based, so that the financial impact of our expertise to your business is minimized.
The reputation of grants consultancy is arguably not a good one! Many so-called experts have proved to be nothing more than opportunists who make false promises in order to extract fees from clients who have been ultimately left high and dry with failed grant applications. At CSL, we are not interested in wasting your time (or ours), or in developing grant applications that end in failure and disappointment. Grant support can impact very positively and directly on a company's project costs, cash flow and profitability - and although we can never guarantee that an application will be successful, because of the discretionary nature of grant funding - our focus is on every application being successful.
Seeking grant support should be a win:win for the applicant company and government agency alike. Companies who gain most from grant funding opportunities recognise that there is a need for a relationship between the funding agency and the company. Applying for grant is not an adversarial process but rather the chance for the government agency to provide a financial incentive which helps them to meet their own objectives.
Similarly, CSL believes that the application process should also be a win:win for the applicant company and advisor. We offer director led, hands on and practical solutions-driven advice. We can work with you as well as for you, with funding opportunities and applications co-developed alongside you and your team.
Welcome to Cundy Solutions Limited…
Cundy Solutions Limited (CSL) is an independent and specialist grants and incentives advisory business dedicated to providing expertise to corporate clients on grant support and government funding.
Grant support can make a big difference to the plans and finances of any company. You may be wondering whether there are any opportunities for you to obtain help from the public purse, but finding out what grants and incentives are potentially available can be a daunting task, even for experts.
Even if you think you might be eligible, not knowing which funding agency to approach and/or how to apply means that this source of funding is often a missed opportunity for business.
CSL are experts in advising businesses on the types of grants and incentives that are available, the factors affecting eligibility and in accessing these sources of finance. We can help you navigate efficiently through the complex world of grant funding and State Aid by:
The team has over thirty years experience of successfully advising businesses in a whole range of situations involving government support. We work with clients in England, Wales and Scotland ranging from global multinationals to SMEs, from greenfield start-ups to ‘phoenix’ businesses, and from inward investment to indigenous companies.
We provide professional, practical, hands-on and solutions-driven advice. Importantly, this advice will come from the people you meet at the outset!
